Javits Center in New York City with its annual AKC Meet the Breeds, sponsored by Purina Pro Plan, on Jan. 25 and Jan. 26 in 2025. This family-friendly canine showcase is a unique opportunity for dog lovers to meet and play with hundreds of dogs and puppies while learning about responsible dog ownership and understanding which breeds may fit their lifestyle.

From Affenpinschers to Yorkshire Terriers and every breed in between, the showcase gives pet lovers the unique opportunity to:

  • Meet and play with more than 100 different dog breeds
  • Discover new breeds and talk to experts to determine which breeds work for their lifestyle
